The movie is full of funny misadventures involving the two and in the end the young, innocent Wen finally finds her Mr. Right.“Stars are like Barbies,” the 34-year-old Tang told China Daily in a recent interview. “People make up their perceptions of a star, just like they put makeup on a Barbie. The star Tang Wei is there,” she said. “She has nothing to do with the real me.”So, whats the real Tang like?“Bold, a bit wild and not playing by the rules,” Tang said, referring to a certain similarity with her latest character Wen Jiajia.31.How many films are mentioned in this passage?A.

Try to think what the first few months of your life were like. Im sure you just spent most of your time eating, sleeping and crying. As you grew older, you were awake more of the time. It took your parents more to play with you and talk to you. You watched and listened. You began to know that people make some sounds to go with some things. Then you began to cry to make sounds you heard. And step by step you were able to make the right sound for one thing. On that day you came to understand the secret of the language. The secret is that a certain sound means a certain thing. One sound might be as good as another. But it is not as good as a word unless everyone agrees on its meaning. Only when a group of people use the same set of sounds of things, they can understand each other, so these people have a language. After you found the secret of language, you learned words. Some of the words meant things, such as books, chairs and shops. Some of the words meant actions such as go and swim. And other words describe things such as good or dirty. Soon you learn to put words together to express ones idea, such as “I want to go out and play with my friends.” This is language. By the way of language people can communicate. So we say languages mean communication. ( ) 36. can remember the day when we spoke our first words.A. Few of us B. No one C. Most people D. Someone( ) 37.

I was relieved (松口气) and disappointed at the same time. The second prize was announced. It was me. I went up to the stage and read what I had written, “My fathers son”. When I finished, the people stood up and cheered. I saw my father blowing his nose. Tears were running down my fathers face. Dad cleared his throat and put his hand on my shoulder. “Son, this is the proudest moment of my life.”It was the proudest moment of my life, too.

It felt heavy in my hand.“Quickly. Decide which answer is heads (正面) and which one is tails (反面). Now toss (投掷) it,” said Mary.I did.Heads. That would be “Yes”.“But that cant be so! I mean if I did that, it would mean What are you smiling at?” I asked.She really was, and looked very happy. “You see: you got your answer.”“No, I didnt! It showed yes, but that cant be right,” I said.I stopped talking. “Now you see why my grandfather used to toss a coin,” Mary said. “He did not follow the answer it showed heads or tails, yes or no.
